The Online Travel Writing Course - the Distance Learning Option
Distance learning online is a great tool for developing your travel writing. The online travel writing course is an excellent choice if you want one-to-one tuition. The travel writing workshop runs its online distance learning travel writing course by email with Zoom sessions included on request. Your tutor will be Peter Carty, a very experienced travel writer and editor.
The online travel writing course has six modules. Each module is emailed to participants and has two components: information and advice about a specific area of travel writing, together with a short written assignment to be returned to the workshop. You will receive constructive and supportive feedback on each assignment, together with the course materials for the following module.
After completion of the six modules, participants will have all the skills and knowledge needed to become a travel writer. Feedback after the course is also included: a bonus that is an unusual feature of a short course – or indeed of any course!
